A LATIN rock explosion comes to The Haymarket on Saturday, October 4 at 7.30pm, when Viva Santana celebrate the music of Carlos Santana.

Created by inspirational Spanish guitarist Marcos Rodriguez, the Viva Santana family consists of talented, dedicated, professional musicians who fully immerse themselves to recreate the moods, sounds and atmosphere of Santana's music with passion, heart, soul and amazing accuracy.

It's all there; from the powerful four piece rhythm section that brings the heartbeat of the band that is congas, timbales, drums and bass to the infectious Cuban piano and haunting Hammond organ wizardry. 

The famous soulful vocal melodies in the native languages of the Americas completes what was recently described by Classic Rock Magazine as "One Of The Top Must See Tributes In The UK", though the tag of tribute band just doesn't do this group of talented musicians justice.

Viva Santana takes you through the Santana years with a stunning two hour show, from Santana 1, Abraxas and Moonflower to the recent hits from Supernatural, Shaman and All that I am.

Tickets: £19 (includes £1 booking fee).
